MCM-1 Public Education and Outreach

Fort Hood is required to educate the community of the pollution potential of common activities, and increase awareness of
the direct links between land activities, rainfall runoff, storm drains, and local water resources. Fort Hood has developed an
educational program that distributes educational materials and conducts equivalent outreach activities on storm water discharges that enter
the MS4. By providing educational materials to the public, conducting training classes for military, civilian, and contractor personnel,
creating educational programs for commercial and industrial facilities, and coordinating public environmental outreach events, Fort Hood is
educating the community on the impacts of daily activities on storm water quality.

Training Courses

The ECO course is offered to military, civilian, and contractor personnel. Each unit/activity on Fort Hood must have an
Environmental Compliance Officer (ECO) appointed. The ECO must attend this week long training and pass a written examination prior to receiving a
certificate of training. A one-day course is available for ECO assistants and an ECO refresher course is provided quarterly. To sign up for a
course please contact the DPW-ENV trainer at 287-8755 or 535-6221.

The FOG training course is offered to DFACs and commercial restaurants to help reduce the amount of grease buildup in sewer lines. The buildup of
grease in sewer lines eventually leads to sanitary sewer overflows (SSO) which in return affect water quality. The course includes a 20 minute
presentation followed by a TCEQ video titled “Lets Tackle Grease in the Kitchen”. The training class is designed to inform employees of
good housekeeping techniques in the kitchen that can reduce the amount of FOG that enters the sewer system. To schedule a course at your DFAC
or restaurant, please contact the DPW-ENV water quality specialist at 287-9812. For FOG brochures, posters, and handouts click on the icons below.

Construction Site Operator Compliance Course

The Construction Site Operator Compliance Course is scheduled to be developed in year 3 (2010) of the SWMP. The course will outline the
requirements of the TXR150000 construction storm water general permit and inform inspectors of the proper design, implementation, and
maintenance of storm water BMPs. Construction contractors on Fort Hood will be required to appoint a storm water inspector for each
construction site. The storm water inspector will be required to attend this course prior to the commencement of the construction project.

Industrial Site Storm Water Pollution Prevention Training

The Industrial Site Storm Water Pollution Prevention Training is offered to sites that require coverage under TXR050000 industrial storm water
general permit. The course is designed to educate personnel on good housekeeping practices that prevent pollutants from entering the MS4. This
training is required annually for all essential employees working in permitted facilities. To find out if your unit/activity
is covered under the general permit, click on the link above. For information on obtaining course materials please contact the DPW-ENV water
quality specialist at 618-8888.
